OK, appointment had been made for this afternoon at a really good optometrist. So I get to avoid Jilli-pokeage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Well, they didn't really have algebra, is the thing. They had "number" -- which meant positive integers -- and "magnitude" -- which was lines and shapes and things you could measure by hand -- and the two probably overlapped but were certainly not the same thing. So the square root of two wasn't actually a number, but it was a magnitude, and it was proved incommensurable (irrational) by performing operations with other lines.
I think. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it all, while also trying to keep up with "If a straight line is cut into equal and unequal segments, the rectangle contained by the unequal segments of the whole together with the square on the straight line between the points of seccion is equal to the square on the half."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I think I threw out my mascara. I need mascara. Do I go to the drugstore during lunch, or do I sprint to Sephora at the mall on my way home and eat up precious getting-ready minutes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is Great Lash still the go-to mascara? I'd guess it's at least good enough, for sure.

That's drugstore mascara? I swear, I've never finished a tube of mascara. Lip gloss is about the only makeup I finish before I decide I should toss them for health or diminished quality reasons.
I keep meaning to femme it up.
And then I get distracted.

I use great lash. go drugstore, choose drug store. You can't risk getting ready minutes.

Yeah, Great Lash is Maybelline. I should really buy new mascara, because I never throw mine out for health reasons. And I don't use it that often.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Great Lash always runs on me, causing racoon eye. I'm all about the Almay Bright Eyes. Doesn't run, irritate, clump (unless I'm messy about it).
I like it better than every other mascara I've ever tried. And it comes in black plum, which I adore.
